The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency has opposed the bail application filed by 10 defendants arrested during a raid on an alleged clandestine methamphetamine laboratory in a forest in Ogun State.

The agency said the defendants are an alleged organised network involved in the production and trafficking of methamphetamine and the acquisition and transportation of precursor chemicals.

The defendants are Anochili Innocent, Juan Carlos Meza Torrero, Nemecio Martinez Felix, Jesus Lopez Valles, Nwankwo Sunday Christian, Egwuonwu Uchenna Victor, Igwe Abuchi Remujus, Ifeanychukwu Chibuike Joshua, Omonughwa Kingsley Orike and Nwobum Emeka.

The alleged laboratory, which the prosecution valued at N480bn in its case, was discovered at Iloti Village, Ogun State.

They are facing charges relating to the alleged illicit production and trafficking of methamphetamine and possession of precursor chemicals used in its production.
